TOKYO —Imagine a bicycle seat connected by mechanical frames(機械支架) to a pair of shoes for an idea of how the new wearable assisted-walking machine from Honda works．

       The experimental machine, showed on Friday, is designed to support bodyweight, reduce stress on the knees and help people organize steps and stay in crouching（蹲坐） positions．Honda showed a video of its employees wearing the machine.

       Engineer Jun Ashihara also said the machine is useful for people standing in long lines and to people who run around to make deliveries．

       "This should be as easy to use as a bicycle," Ashihara said．"It reduces stress, and you should feel less tired．"

       To wear it, you put the seat between your legs, put on the shoes and push the “on” button．Then just start walking around．

       In a test run for media, this reporter found it does take some time to get used to the machine.  “I could sense how it supported my moves, pushing up on my bottom when I crouched and pushing at my soles(腳底) to help lift my legs when I walked,” he said.

       The system has a computer, a motor, gears（齒輪）, batteries and sensors in it, so it responds to a person's movements, according to Honda Motor Co．

       Pricing and commercial product plans are still undecided．Japan's No．2 automaker will begin testing a prototype（模型） later this month．

       The need for such mechanical help is expected to grow in Japan, which has one of the most rapidly aging societies in the world．

       Other companies are also eyeing the potentially attractive market of helping the weak and the old get around．Japan is among the world's leading nations in robotics technology, not only for industrial use but also for entertainment and companionship．

1．Honda's new wearable assisted-walking machine is mainly to      .

       A．show Honda's power in technology B．protect the environment

Ms Lo could hardly bear her sorrow when she received the call that her husband had died in a car accident. Her pain quickly turn to shock---- the car involved in the accident was driven by a friend. That friend, Henry Lee, had chosen to remain silent on the accident details in court. Her shock soon turned to extreme anger when Lee decided not to let out what had happened.

Her husband, Mr. Tan, was 21 when he died after an accident outside Las Vegas KTV at Havelock Road. That night, he was discussing supper plans with a group of friends, which included Lee. Later, Mr. Tan was found unconscious on the ground, next to the car driven by Lee. Mr. Tan died in the hospital a few hours later. Due to drinking driving, Lee was fined $3,000 and banned from driving for two years last month.

Lee, Ms Lo and her husband were colleagues at Asia Pacific-Breweries(APB).

She only heard of the accident and her husband’s death the next morning after the accident as she had switched off her band-phone that night. She told The New Paper, “Receiving the call, I thought it was a joke. I thought he had got his friend to call me to ask me out.” Ms Lo had moved out to live alone for three weeks because of a disagreement with her husband. “The next time I saw him was at the mortuary.(太平間)” She said that Lee went to visit her some days ago but didn’t apologize to her. “He looked sorry but he didn’t speak to me. I wanted to forgive him, but now I have no chance to tell him.” she said.
